DOCTOR WHO's real unreal problem or unreal real problem in 2024 and 2023





 The best sci fi, fantasy and horror is about REAL people getting wrapped up in an unreal world that itself seems as close to real as possible. THIS is the main reason Classic WHO and RTD First Round WHO works where Moffat, Chibs, and RTD Second Coming does NOT. The Doctor, instead of just an alien humanoid who gets involved over his head is now a know it all who admits his faults...are other people's and other culture's problem and he's a space time event that can talk machines down and bring down a whole war with one action while his superhero sidekick is herself not right and someone that is unique and has magical, if not sci fi secrets about her secret past. There's nothing to latch onto the real world. The best Sci fi, fantasy and horror has real people, real relatable characters even those with superhero powers like Superman or even Wonder Woman, that we can relate to. The best DW has characters that we can relate to, even Tom's Doctor has traits that make him human and alien at the same time while he says things we can relate to and feel about. New Who has fly by night characters in unreal situations but they are more unreal than those situations and those settings, which are NOT as real as those settings can be: a war without an enemy, another enemy who can't figure out what "they" want, and space babies who, for no reason, talk like adults while a superhero Doctor throws himself into an open airlock that opens out into space....and lives and doesn't have a ty line. And we wonder why some fans hate New WHO on Disney and Moffat Era WHO: unreal unrelatable buffoon superheroes with "mystery" companions who don't act like anyone we've ever met who often don't want to be there or act flippant or whatever way the script demands they do even against what's already been established in unreal settings in illogical circumstances that make no sense. And on the same note: does anyone care about the Susan Twist? Gosh.
